“The customer service was exceptional”

Zoe A.
11/26/23

I ordered an Allbirds Running Shoes from Swap.com last week, and I was amazed at how quickly it arrived. The packaging was secure, ensuring the item was undamaged. The customer service was exceptional, as they kept me updated throughout the entire process. I had a question about the product, and their support team responded promptly and professionally. Overall, my experience with Swap.com was outstanding, and I can't wait for my next purchase.

“What Happened?”

Charlene C.
2/8/24

This used to be my go to site for clothing and shoes. Tonight I thought I'd take a peek at what's new and discovered no longer are you able to pick your shoe size, dress size, or another size! It's not even divided into subcategories like petite and Plus. Awwwww...liked it better 4-5 years ago when it was easy to find what I was looking for and there is not near the items that there used to be. Also, had to wait for a code via email to signing. It's been over 45 minutes and still no code, even asked for a 2nd code, you guessed it...still no code!. So long Swap. Back to Poshmark for me. Sad to leave.

Besides the fact it takes MONTHS for them to process the boxes they received, I am rather happy with their service. I get 2 payouts a month and they are decent. They do price things weird sometimes and get brands wrong on occasion but overall I have been happy with the small stream of income trickling in every month form them. Hope they start taking inbound shipments again!

I have bought numerous high quality items from Swap. Their prices have went up though, so it may be best to wait until there is a sale or check for 'new with tag' items. Even buying items at regular price can be a steal based on the brand and material. I recently bought a wool Patagonia sweater for $8.00. It would have easily been $75-$100 if bought new.

I sent a box of nice clothing and at least 4 pairs of never worn Jessica Simpson shoes. 1 pair was rejected, yet I NEVER wore them. I sold a few items, and I knew there was the 11.40 fee and the 30% they take and 1.50 per item, yet they still charged some other additional fee's, so I ended up with a payout of 0. Ad its never really told to you what they "additional " fee is. Don't sell here. They take what they want and say it doesn't meet their standards, then if you want the items back you have to pay shipping fee's. And even when you sell and it looks like your getting a payout, they take it. Unreal how this scam was not shut down yet? Can't anything be done. They are stealing and finding a way to get away with it. 2 big boxes of items I sent months ago... and I sold thing and still made 0. What a JOKE!

I have been buying and selling on Swap for awhile. BEST online place to buy and sell by far! They make it so easy to send in items to sell. The buying process is equally easy. Plus if you don't like something, just ship it back. I have had to do that and it went very smoothly. That doesn't happen with every site. I highly recommend Swap! I have made over $200 selling clothes and shoes. I intend to keep using SWAP. So much easier than ebay or any of the other places i have tried.

Tip for consumers:
Read the advice on what to send carefully. If you do, you will be a very successful seller. I got better with each shipment. The last shipment nothing was rejected!

I have sold to Thredup for a few years and made over 1,000. I tried swap because they take more items. I sent a full box of quality items (I am not new to the process so I didn't send poor quality) and I received negative 21.90! I owe them money. IF all of my items sell I will make a whole 10 cents. I am not using this site again. Buying might be fine but please consider other options for selling!

I am still waiting for my payment for the items that Swap.com sold to other customers on their website. It has been over 6 months of waiting and there is always some story as to why I have not received the money. Also, if you are not on top of this, they are not going to follow up with you. They do not send consignment checks. They (supposedly) deposit the money into your PayPal account. As I said, I am still waiting, despite numerous emails to a "Kelly" in Customer Service. I think Swap.com is basically a veiled scam. Better to consign your items locally. Much less of a hassle, you will make more money doing it locally, and you will actually receive a physical check. Honestly, I feel like I threw away some beautiful clothing of my daughter's. So sad. Do not use this website to consign!

I will order from Swap.com always now! I'm on a limited budget and this requires me to spend only a few dollars here and there. The items I ordered were shipped fast and very clean as if I bought them that day! I highly recommend Swap.com! And will continue to save a lot of money through them! Thank you for having such an awesome company!

Always love everything bought from Swap. Always great prices and customer service. Can't believe how many guilt-free things I have bought from them, while paying off my debt from much more costly shopping elsewhere. Wish I had known about this site sooner.

My wife loves this site. We were faced with having to travel about 80 miles to the nearest large city to find some items she needed. Instead we browsed through Swap.Com website and found everything we were looking for at great prices.

I've been shopping on Swap.com for a couple of years now. When I first started, they used to be low cost and quick turnaround for returns & credits, but not anymore. The selection now is sometimes limited with few new items listed frequently, and the prices have increased. Getting a credit on returns takes longer so I can't buy items using my credit as quickly. Also free shipping was $50 minimum purchase has now increased to $60. I will continue to use swap because they will take returns for credit, but probably not buy as often. I haven't try to sell items on swap so I cannot comment on that. But from what I've read, it's not worthwhile so I don't plan to do that with some of my nicer clothes that no longer fit. I will either sell on other sites (Ebay or Poshmark) or donate to charity.

I have purchased many things from swap and you sorta never know what you are gonna get. Sometimes items are very nice other times they are horrible. I have found that too many times the picture as well as description does not accurately describe the item. Now as for selling. I sent a box in long ago, honestly I forgot all about it until I started receiving emails a couple weeks ago stating that I sold an item. Many of the items I sent in were new, forever 21 as well as 21 Men, of great quality and not cheap clothing. As of thos week they have sold probably 10 of my items for prices ranging from 5 to 13 dollars per item. I received a payout of 6.98. That is really ridiculous. You are better off selling on ebay or I would have even preferred to give the clothing away free on offerup for prices like that. I'm pretty much done with swap altogether.

I save so much money, and get very nice items at Swap.com; wish I had discovered the site earlier as I would have been saving even more. Always a pleasure and customer service always goes the extra mile to keep customers happy.

I discovered Swap.com while looking for affordable maternity clothes and I am very pleased with my shopping experience. The clothes are reasonably priced and in very good condition and if you're not happy, they have a no hassle return policy. What more could you ask for?

I have been shopping with Swap for years now. I have always liked nice things and have paid full retail prices until I discovered Swap.com. I am in awe of the quantity of merchandise I buy for what I usually pay for 1 piece. I have received a lot of garments that were new for nearly nothing. I have saved more than 90% over retail prices for the most part. I thought I would never buy secondhand merchandise, but almost everything I have purchased had been new or nearly new. Their Customer Service, return policy and packaging, is top notch! I can't say enough. They are my Go To Business for life!

I absolutely love Swap.com. I've only made purchases so my review is based on that. I find it to be much better than any other online consignment shop. Their prices are usually very, very reasonable and they offer free shipping. Their customer service is excellent! I had a small problem with the sizing of a baby outfit that I purchased and they took care of it immediately. The shipping is fast and comes nicely packaged.

Swap.com has both new and slightly used items and they are very fair priced and very accurate in their descriptions. I have ordered from them multiple times and intend to continue -- it is always great to find deals! They also have a great referral system you refer a friend, the friend makes a purchase and you get $20.00 site credit -- you cannot beat that, no other thrift store can compare!

I used to make a decent amount of money on swap.com when I could set my own prices. I recommended it to many friends. However, since they've changed their pricing model, I now make less than 50 cents on average per piece of clothing. It's honestly not worth it. I'd rather give the clothing away. Looking for a new place to sell.

I've ordered previously and was pleased with the purchase but the delivery was slow. This time I paid extra for priority shipping because I needed the item quicker. I am now getting a notification my package will not be delivered until next week which is 11 days from the point of purchase. Hardly priority delivery service in my opinion.

I made an order from this website earlier this year and it went pretty good. This is an online "thrift store". I made 2 more orders a couple of months ago and got a confirmation and than nothing! I have e mailed them several times and left several messages and get a standard automatic response. The reply states they have a high number of tickets and will respond to me in 24 hours. I have heard nothing! This is a scam site. They take your money and you don't get what you order. Two of the products I ordered are still listed for sale!

Tip for consumers:
This site is a total scam

I never got the items

I'm very sceptical when it comes to ordering things on line. But I have honestly found a good place to do some shopping, Swap.com
At first I just ordered two items... they were received promptly in excellent condition and exactly what I ordered.
I will and have continue to purchase from them and letting others know

I have ordered off swap about 5 times, and I've never had to return a thing! The prices are great! They clearly tell you what condition the items are in and that's exactly what you receive. I've gotten great deals on clothes for myself and my daughter. Not to mention the toys, for a quarter of retail price, I've found some toys that appear brand new out of the box! This is truly a great site. The only thing I wish would change is the descriptions, I wish they were a little more in depth and maybe some more pics. Even with those two things lacking some, I've never been disappointed with an order.

I just found this site a couple of weeks ago. I have already placed TWO large orders. Everything I received was very nice and in excellent condition. I can't believe the designer clothes that I can find at a fraction of the price. Free shipping on returns is also a big plus for me. I don't usually buy used clothing but this site has changed that forever! Five stars for this site!

Verified purchase

I've had to get BBB involved twice now. I stopped buying from them last year because I hardly ever received the correct items. The last order I got was supposed to be shorts, I received children's pants. They gave me a 5.99 credit for their mistake. So I saw they had a new website so I tried once again and it was a disaster. I'm attaching photos of what I received. 1 shoe, a blazer and that was it. BBB is trying to mediate and they told BBB they refunded the money, which they haven't, I checked with my credit card company and there's nothing. Bottom line. Don't buy from this company. 50/50 chance of actually receiving what you purchased
